Our Capital CITY.

No one visiting Topeka can leave it
without the impression that it is the
making of one of the best cities i'll the
west. 1t is laid out on broad and lib
eral plan, and is peopled with the
right sort of people to make an i'm
pressive and beautiful capital for a
prosperous and wealthy state. A day
spent i'll driving over it's broad streets
OF riding over it's intricate net work of
street railways, disclose more of archi-
tectural beauty, of grassy lawns and
playing fountains, of shaded walks and
handsome women than can be met
with anywhere else in the great west.
Just now, though, a person wishing Ito
see the city had best leave the carriage
i'll the barn and take to the street cars,
for the rains of last week have put
some of the unpaved streets in such a
condition that a mud scow would
make better time over them than a
horse and buggy. However, this will
not long be the case, for in every part of
the city almost, good, substantialspav-
ing is being laid, and before many
days there will not be a finer paved
city in the country than Topeka.

The Sweet Kicker.

God bless the kickers! the dear old
kickers-God bless them every one!
For they'll kick when you're sober and
in for work, and kick when you're are
in for fun! They'll buck at improve
ments in real estate-they'll buck at
booming the town-and at everything
that'n work for good some kickers will
frown frownl If this:thing or that is
thought to be good, some other they'll
say will be better; and if one could
write them up mass" they'd knock
off that superhuous letter! When
these self-same kickers arrive at the
gate-the pearly gates of heaven
they'll kick if offered nice crown and
and pick out the number 'leven. On
earth, in heaven, at home, in the street,
there are men who are bound to kick;
until, we declare, there's no rest any
where-'tis enough to make a man
sick! So out ON those kickers, those
chronic old kickers-that blight that is
thrust OH town-aud when they kick
with their mulish ways-for heave rs
sake frOwn them dOwn.-Er.

Fruit Raising.

One of the first questions that is ask
ed by many persons in the eastis: "Can
you raise fruit out there?" This ques-
ton is one of the first Importance, and
while there are many interesting fea-
lures presented to view in analyZing
the subject, the shortest road to the
answer is-"Yes.n Seventeen years
ago, when the writer came to Kansas,
the great Arkansas valley was covered
with an unbroken sea of grass, over
which roamed the wild thousands, yes,
hundreds of thousands, of buffalo, and
succeeding them came Texas cattle to
tramp the first paintings. These things
have passed and the wonderful groves
that exist to-day, prove that trees will
grow, and closer examination reveals
i'll nearly every instance, the orchard
following the grove. Very few per-
sons have an idea of the YaStneSS of
the Arkansas valley and the territory
that drains into it, OF what it may be
made to produce. Twenty thousand
square mileS-abOut One-fOurth of the
State, and Reno county almost in the
midst of it. Twenty years ago there

Kansas Silk Dress Goods.

a few days ago a package was re-
ceived at one of the express offices of
Topeka, sent by the well known New
York silk manufacturing company of
Belding Bros. & Co., at No. 400 and 457
Broadway. On the ,29th day of July
last, that house wrote to the Kansas
silk exchange-"If you will send
us sufficient quantity of raw silk to
weave a dress pattern, we shall take
pleasure without expense to you) in
making dress pattern which we will
send to you, and which you can present
to the wife of the governor of your
state. -
The raw silk was sent as requested,
and on the 18th, day of this month,
September, the following was received:
I'VE have this day sent you by ex-
press, piece of black silk woven from
Kansas silk which you are to present
it to the wife of the governor of your
state. We feel very well satisfied with
the looks of the silk and think the
production is credit to the State OF
Kansas. We trust the governors
lady will also be pleased with it,
The package received, as above stat
ed, is the silk referred to. Now we
know that Kansas can raise silk fit for
weaving into dress goods.-Kansas

Paving the Minister.

Elder Blodgett was one Of the old
timers who used to preach in town in
the southern part of the territory
There was ii good deal of competition
between him and the justice of the
peace on marriage ceremonies and they
had cut the former price of Sl8 down
to a much lower figure. One day a
young couple who lived down on the
bottoms were married by the elder.
After the ceremony the groom acknow-
lodged that he hadn't a cent and asked
the elder to trust him till fall.
"I'll tell you what'll do" replied the
minister, you an yer wife jes' agree
to drive around town little while car
ryin' sign advertisin' my business and
III call 1t square,"
They agreed to it, and in a few min
utes the blushing bride and the proud
groom were riding about the streets up
on high seat in lumber wagon, bear
ing aloft canvass sign reading as fol-
lows:

And the Man Retreated.

"Speaking of how the cunning dog
can derange dramatic performance,
said Manager Bob Fulford to party
of friends whom he was entertaining
at the Westminster hotel one June
evening, reminds me that once in
Carson City Augusta Dargon was
playing Camille. She got along to the
last act all right, but in the most abb
sorbing moment of that most sympa.
thetic act the cunningput dog the au-
dience in roar and broke up every
thing in the piece save Dargon herself.
She deliberately arose from her
(Camille's) death bed, strobe majestic
ally down to the footlights, and in a
voice of inexorable purpose, said:
Ladies and gentlemen, Iswear to you
that l will not die until that man is
put out of the theatre
"The fellow caught as it were the
spirit Of Dragons remarks, and retreat
ed just in time to escape being thrown
out. Then Dragon went back to her
couch and died. Detroit Free Press.

And now comes the cheerful news

And now comes the cheerful news
that more people are coming to Kan
sas at this time than there were last
year at this season. Every train that
comes to Kansas City from the east
brings at least 400 people, and there
are fourteen passenger trains from the
east entering that city daily. The
fourteen trains bring $500 each day,
80 per cent. of whom are bound for
"Sunny Kansas" Every town in the
state gets its share of them, and. TO
Judge the future by the past, we may
expect Ness City 10 continue to be the
most prosperous and booming city of
the west.-Ness City Sentinel.
